landslide

?Chen Pu suddenly opened his eyes, but his head was chaotic. The three souls and seven souls seemed to be still in a dream.He subconsciously shook his left hand, as if he wanted to hold something in his hand, but there was nothing in his hand, only sticky cold sweat.

The scene in the dream flooded into his mind again. This dream was not hazy, because he had dreamed it more than once.

In the dream, he walked with Min Luo for a certain distance, Min Luo had a clean smile on his face, and Min Luo talked to him many, many things along the way, finally Min Luo stopped on a mountain and took out a pure white magnolia Flower, handed it in front of him, and said: "Chen Pu, don't follow Brother Sanhuang, you should go."

Chen Pu took the flowers and woke up from the dream.

At this moment, he was holding his empty left hand, and thought helplessly—fourth prince, why on earth did you give me a magnolia flower?

However, this question was destined to have no answer, Chen Pu could only shake his head and get up from the bed, but the other side of the bed was already empty and cold, and Huai Jun left Zhaohe Hall before dawn.

He slowly got out of bed, opened the window, the sky outside was just right, a piece of blue sky, the sun was shining brightly, it seemed that there was a little more life than before.

He sat in front of the window, closed his eyes, and recalled all kinds of past events, from Huaijun's coronation ceremony, to Concubine Jun and Mingluo's death in vain, to Huaijun being crowned prince and marrying the concubine, while he left Yangzhou. .Now that he has returned to the Hall of Zhaohe and started anew with Huai Jun, does it mean that these years of fighting are coming to an end and everything will be a thing of the past?

The scene of Min Luo handing him flowers resurfaced again, and Chen Pu, who didn't want to think too much, quickly opened his eyes, looked at the bright sky outside and sighed, secretly said: "Fourth prince, Chen Pu is sorry for you, but I want to stay , I should stay with him."

Having said that, Chen Pu is not necessarily very happy, after all, staying in the palace is only one of the ways to stay with Huai Jun, and what he wants most is to spend time with Huai Jun outside the palace.

He raised his hand, touched his slightly swollen lips, recalled Huai Jun's affectionate kiss yesterday, sighed again, and could only secretly make a very contradictory wish.

——Huai Jun, may you be an emperor, may you be a bandit.

The former is the goal of Huai Jun's hard work for many years, and Chen Pu is unwilling to waste everything he has paid, while the latter is Chen Pu's hope for the relationship between the two. Only in this way can Huai Jun truly belong to him, and they can leave everything behind. leave the palace.

Ah Fu passed by the window, and wanted to come over and wake Chen Pu up, but seeing that he had already woken up, he said, "Chen Pu, you just wake up, I'll fetch water for you to freshen up right away." After that, he turned around and left immediately However, after walking a few steps, he turned back anxiously and said to Chen Pu in the room: "Don't sit still, change clothes quickly, the time for the late emperor's funeral is coming, we all have to stay outside the hall, and send the late emperor out respectfully." palace."

When the time comes, people from all palaces and halls will stand outside the hall, kneel on the ground, and send the late emperor respectfully.The funeral procession departed from the main hall and passed through the Zhaohe Hall, so that the Zhaohe Hall did not dare to slack off. Ah Fu got up early in the morning to prepare, and then realized that Chen Pu hadn't woken up yet.

Chen Pu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

The nimble A Fu quickly fetched water, and when Chen Pu finished washing up, he brought Chen Pu and a group of servants and eunuchs to stand outside the Zhaohe Hall.

People from all the palaces and halls stood guard outside the hall, while the four princes and all the civil and military officials came outside the main hall early in the morning and stood in front of a platform set up in the middle.A group of people were dressed in white clothes, as lifeless as the white silk on the stage, but the sun was shining brightly at this moment, which seemed to reveal a new atmosphere.

No matter in the former dynasty or since the founding of the Wu clan, the funeral of the first emperor and the new emperor of Kaifeng have never been arranged on the same day, but Prime Minister Mo and Eunuch Li agreed that this is the best way, so Prime Minister Mo arranged the It was arranged before noon, and after the funeral of the first emperor, he came back to unseal the imperial decree and establish the first emperor.

The four princes stood on the stage, guarding the late emperor's coffin with the left and right prime ministers, listening to Master Mingxin chanting scriptures for the late emperor.When the time came, as soon as Master Mingxin chanted the scriptures, Prime Minister Mo said to all civil and military officials: "Respectfully, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers knelt on the ground immediately, and a group of guards lifted the coffin, led by the prince Huai Jun, and sent the late emperor to the royal cemetery.

The royal cemetery is located in a geomantic land in the south of the capital, so a group of people will pass through the street first, and the common people will wait on the side of the road early in the morning to send the funeral for the late emperor.For these common people, the first emperor was a wise king, and they hoped that the first emperor would have a good life and not be lonely.

When everyone returned to the palace after the late emperor's burial, it was already late, and even though it was less than four quarters before Prime Minister Mo let people figure out the Kaifeng imperial decree, the white silk on the stage had already been removed, but no other colors had been replaced. Aya paragraph.

Unlike the silence at the funeral just now, everyone couldn't hold back and whispered.They were roughly divided into three factions, one faction headed by Huai Jun, another faction headed by Nuo Xu, and the last faction wanted to take care of themselves alone, neither faction was close to each other, and this faction was mainly headed by Prime Minister Mo.

However, whether it is Huaijun or Nuoxu's faction, there are only a few who are truly loyal to them, and most of them stand together for the sake of fame and fortune, but they are afraid that if they lose, they will lose everything, so they can only think silently. The method of skimming the relationship.

But at this moment, the arrogance of Nuo Xu's faction was obviously suppressed.

Although Huai Jun standing at the front was dressed in white, he couldn't conceal his vigor, his eyes were piercing, and his whole body exuded a radiance of confidence.Compared to him, Nuo Xu was unconcealably haggard, his eyes lost their brilliance, while Yong Ting, who was standing next to him, had a cold face, without any gleam of victory.

Those on Nuo Xu's side had to scold themselves for being stupid. They knew that Huai Jun was the crown prince, so why did they still place their hopes on Nuo Xu?

Suddenly, Pang Zhan broke through the crowd and came to Min Xuan's side, approached him and said a few words in his ear.When Min Xuan heard this, he was overjoyed, the dawn of hope floated in front of him, and he who was extremely indifferent in the past actually said, "Thank you, Pang Zhan."

After the words were out of the mouth, a sense of dryness and heat surfaced on Min Xuan's face, and the current gesture of favor was obviously a bit abrupt.

As a result, Pang Zhan was taken aback, and the emotion of surprise quickly filled his heart, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, he just smiled at Min Xuan, and then stepped aside.

Min Xuan didn't say anything, but whispered to Huai Jun: "The Ding'an army outside Shanghe City has retreated."

Huai Jun glanced at Nuo Xu at the other end, and saw that his previous sharpness seemed to fade away gradually. The person who arrogantly asked him what his plan was that day was only a hazy figure in his memory. Now that they have retreated, what else is there? Can prevent him from gaining this world?

He smiled confidently and said, "Let's continue to wait."

However, although Minxuan also thinks that Nuo Xu's retreat is because they have lost the power to resist, Nuo Xu's power was not cultivated in vain. After getting carried away, he has to worry that this is just an illusion deliberately created by Nuo Xu.

Facing the slightly westward sun, he has another hidden worry besides Nuo Xu.

"Is that person surnamed Fan trustworthy?"

"Since the father hand-picked him and handed over the imperial decree to him, we can only trust him." Regarding Fan Shaoqian who held the imperial decree, Huai Jun was also helpless, explaining: "We can't find out everything about him, even if If we don’t believe him, what can we do? This is the purpose of my father entrusting the imperial decree to such a person.”

Min Xuan sneered: "His intention is to protect Brother Dahuang and let him retreat in ten days."

"It's a pity that he didn't cherish this opportunity." Huai Jun said sarcastically, "What's the use if he chooses to retreat now?"

Min Xuan smiled, and said in a serious tone: "Your Highness, you can take the throne in the name of the prince, why wait for the person named Fan?"

"Minxuan, I'm different from the great emperor brother. Since I can ascend to the throne justifiably, why should I take the risk of becoming famous for being unfaithful like him?"

"Your Highness said so."

A person jumped over the crowd and came to Huai Jun, "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Huai Jun turned his head and saw that Nan Qi had a serious face, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Nan Qi immediately leaned into Huai Jun's ear, telling him what he saw.The more Huai Jun listened, the more he frowned. After Nan Qi finished speaking, he thought about it, and explained a few things to Nan Qi in a deep voice.After getting the order from Nanqi, he left in a hurry.

"Your Highness?" Min Xuan looked at Huai Jun's tense face suspiciously, thinking that something special had happened.

Huai Jun briefly told Min Xuan about the matter in a low voice, and Min Xuan frowned accordingly. When Huai Jun finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing mockingly a few times, and said darkly: "What a Song Leyu, I don't know what to do."

Huai Jun shifted his gaze to Nuo Xu who was talking with Yong Ting, shook his head and said, "Song Leyu is not the only one who doesn't know what to do? The time is coming, and then they will regret what they have done."

Min Xuan nodded, thinking of the pain he had suffered these years, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and thought to himself——soon, Wu Nuoxu will have to pay the price of these years.He took another look at Pang Zhan next to him, and he would start a new life.

Yong Ting, who had a stinky face on the other end, glanced at Huai Jun. Huai Jun's proud and confident appearance made him angry. He regretted that he promised Nuoxu to withdraw his troops last night. He should have brought the Ding'an army in no matter what. Now What is it to retreat like a coward?

He clenched his fists tightly and said to Nuo Xu in a deep voice: "Brother Emperor, are you really confident?"

There was no trace of joy on Nuo Xu's haggard face, but he nodded with confidence that others could not understand, and said, "Be patient for a while, just take a step back."

"Just take this step back, and he has the power in his hands, easily bullying us." Yong Ting's eyes became sharp, "I'm not letting him bully me."

"In the future, you will have to bear and endure a lot. You must remember not to be impulsive in everything, and don't give him the excuse."

Yong Ting snorted disdainfully, but kept his eyes on Huai Jun, stared at him closely, and said coldly: "Brother Huang, I know that I am impulsive, I have always been an impulsive person, and I am afraid of falling for him." What's the handle?"

Nuo Xu was about to reprimand him a few words, but there was something vaguely wrong with him, he looked at Yong Ting suspiciously, and just when he was about to tell him not to act recklessly, Mo Huichuan walked through the crowd and came to his side.

He bowed his head and said a few words in Nuo Xu's ear, and it was these few words that made Nuo Xu's complexion look better.

Nuo Xu asked: "Are you sure they are all gone, are you sure there are no traces left?"

"Sure, my lord."

Last night, Nuoxu chose to tell Mo Huichuan some of the things. Although Mo Huichuan knew everything, he didn’t say anything. He just reassured Nuoxu that even if the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, he would always stay with Nuoxu. By his side, he must not let him face everything alone.

And Nuo Xu understood Mo Huichuan's friendship and loyalty to him, and what he needed most at this time was someone like Mo Huichuan, so he didn't refuse any more.

Nuo Xu was stunned suddenly by this person, skipping over Mo Huichuan, and looking behind him, there was a person carrying a burden on his back, interspersed.That person was dressed in white, the same as everyone else today, but it was different for Nuo Xu, he was the only one who looked the best in this white dress, and only this cool-tempered person was suitable.

"he came."?
